Chapter 6 I Love My Sister
-
When encountering danger, dig a hole and bury yourself. This may be the most bizarre operation among many time travelers/strategists, and it is simply unique.
And because of this operation, Gu Jinli actually made it to the final circle.
The situation in the yard reached its most intense stage from the fourth day.
The number of strange beasts and magical beasts increased so much that it was hard to keep up. The last day was even more exaggerated, as even monsters with human appearance and intelligence were released.
The addition of monsters pushed everything to the highest point.
Anyone who is still alive in the hospital must not only be strong and smart but also have some special abilities. In short, none of them are good people.
finally.
When it was time to announce the final winner, on the evening of the seventh day, the city lord's housekeeper and a few others pushed open the gate and stepped into the courtyard filled with a fishy smell.
"How many people are still alive?"
Standing at the door with his nose pinched, the butler took a quick look inside and knew what was going on.
"Not bad this time. Four of them actually survived."
Looking at the people in the four corners whose races could not be identified because their bodies were stained with blood, the butler narrowed his eyes and quickly called the people behind him to come in.
"Come quickly and take these four people down to wash them."
The 'King of Gu' selected by the City Lord's Mansion every three months will have the opportunity to meet with the City Lord.
They will sign a soul contract to become a member of the city lord's army and serve the city lord until their death.
This is also the reason why the city lords and those big families will continue to exist. Those who can survive in such an environment are strong people picked from thousands and can be used very well.
Besides, four people survived this time, and it’s the young master’s birthday, so the city lord will definitely be very happy.
As he was thinking this, the butler watched two slender shadows walk out from behind the house in the southwest corner.
As the two figures, one tall and one short, approached, their malnourished and frail appearance was exposed to everyone.
Such a delicate woman could be crushed to death with just one hand. There was no way she would be one of the winners of this game.
But it happens that they are living people.
"Be careful, sister."
Chen Chigui forcibly pulled the reluctant Gu Jinli and reminded her thoughtfully as they walked: "The ground is full of meat, it's very dirty."
Very dirty?
How dare this person say that?
Judging from their current appearance, although they were buried in the soil and became gray and dirty, it was obvious that they had not experienced the baptism of killing.
In this kind of environment, it is very hateful!
Thinking of this, Gu Jinli wanted to cry but had no tears. She gritted her teeth and said, "So if you want to come out, just come out by yourself! Why are you holding me back?"
In the original story, in this episode of the 'Gu King Contest', the heroine who had not yet awakened her bloodline power also managed to survive to the end through some small tricks, but fortunately there were only five places available.
Therefore, although it was unexpected, the housekeeper did not interfere.
The heroine's brilliant life began only after she left the yard.
But now... there are five places, and one more living person has appeared. You can imagine what will happen next.
Gu Jinli was very tired.
"Don't worry, sister."
As if he could tell what she was afraid of, Shen Chigui held her arm without loosening his grip.
"I love my sister very much and I will definitely protect her," she said.
He looked so smiling, as if he really had some ability.
It doesn't matter if others don't understand, but as Shen Chigui's "biological mother", Gu Jinli is extremely clear about the combat power of the heroine during this period.
He is just a bad guy who is always taking advantage of others but no one can beat him.
It can be considered that this person is very kind-hearted as he didn't just push himself out to be killed.
“…”
Never mind, whatever!
Anyway, Gu Jinli had secretly saved a new file last night. At worst, she could just load the file and run away early.
In short, I will never accept inhuman torture!
The heroine would have known about his special physique, but this guy would only harm others.
But if other people knew about this, I would really be sliced into pieces.
…
"So, what's going on?"
Watching two more people appear in the yard, the housekeeper narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"The city lord said that only five people are needed in the end. Since you have one more person coming out now, it means the game is not over yet."
"You decide for yourselves who stays!"
After saying this, the butler returned to the door with a few servants, looking like they were ready to leave at any time.
“Damn it!”
The battle that had already ended was suddenly interrupted. This feeling is really unpleasant.
The winner guarding the southwest corner was the angriest one.
He had been fighting with these people for so many days and was finally about to leave this damn place, but he didn't expect that there was someone hiding under his nose.
What's the difference between this and slapping him in the face in public?
Staring at the two frail figures, he picked up the axe in his hand with red eyes and walked quickly over there.
He wants to kill these two people with his own hands to declare himself the final winner!
"Sister, someone is coming."
Seeing someone coming over, Chen Chigui's expression remained unchanged, but he suddenly asked curiously, "If a fight really breaks out later, will my sister help me?"
She paused here, and without waiting for Gu Jinli's reply, she spoke on her own: "I think so! Although my sister hates me, she is a kind person! She will definitely not abandon me, right?"
This mode of asking and answering oneself made Gu Jinli speechless.
She lowered her eyes to look at her arm that was tightly held by the other party, and said with a twitch of her lips: "Maybe you should let me go and ask again, so that it will be more realistic."
"How can you say that, sister?"
Turning a deaf ear to Gu Jinli's request, Shen Chigui's ability to talk to himself has obviously reached the pinnacle.
Seeing the person behind getting closer and closer, Gu Jinli's face turned pale with fright.
She was not surprised that she would be pushed out by the heroine. Her instinct for survival made her start to struggle. Her nails dug into the back of the heroine's hand, and her body began to tremble helplessly.
Even if I don’t die…
She is afraid of pain too!
"Will my sister die for me?"
His hands were like pliers and he didn't relax at all. Chen Chigui allowed the other party to pinch and twist him.
As if she didn't notice the person approaching from behind, she stared at Gu Jinli without blinking, her expression so gentle that it was creepy.
“Let me go now!”
"Do you want to die? If you want to die, don't drag me!"
"!!"
Oh my god! !
Is this guy really crazy? ! Gu Jinli was really anxious to death, but after seeing the heroine's eyes that looked at her as if she was laughing at a joke, she suddenly calmed down.
Finally, she understood.
In this person's eyes, my struggles and anxieties were as ridiculous as fun.
The facts have already been established, so why would we care about what the parties involved think?
She had been abandoned long ago.
"I won't die for you."
She had never been so calm before. Facing those beautiful eyes, Gu Jinli sneered, "But I have no choice, right?"
"You can send me to death, but don't expect me to do it willingly."
From the moment she was chosen by the system to become a strategist, she actually had no choice.
But at least her heart is free. Even though she cannot resist fate, even though she is so fragile that anyone can crush her, her soul is free.
She will compromise, but she will never deceive herself.
…
…
"You don't need to fight, just die!"
The man who rushed over could be heard from a distance discussing who was going to die, and he was so angry that he almost laughed.
These two mice, who were hiding somewhere, could be crushed to death with just one weak hand, yet they still naively thought they could survive?
He felt insulted when he thought about these two people hiding in an unknown corner and watching them fight.
"Sister is so honest."
Noticing Gu Jinli's mood changes, facing those eyes that could see through him at a glance, Shen Chigui's expression suddenly faded.
It was this Captor who had provoked her...
But he looked as if he felt sorry for her.
So annoying.
Shen Chigui turned his head to avoid the attack from the person behind him. Feeling unhappy, he did not intend to hide his weakness.
I don’t know what she did, but the man who originally had a look of contempt suddenly changed his expression.
As if his neck was clamped by something invisible, the man's body began to be forcibly lifted up, and finally he was hanging in the air and continued to struggle.
"Want to kill me?"
The light words were obviously directed at the attacker, but his eyes were only looking at Gu Jinli.
"You're not qualified yet."
With a crisp "click" sound, Gu Jinli knew without looking that the man was dead.
This is the special ability of the heroine Shen Chigui. She has the ability to capture the air and turn it into a blade lock in her hand.
But this should be a skill she would have acquired after practicing ghost energy, and it should not appear now, but here.
"you!"
His eyes suddenly became horrified, and Gu Jinli stared at the girl in front of him, unable to speak for a long time.
What's going on?
【system! What's going on? Why does nine-year-old Shen Chigui have this ability? ! There's something wrong with this plot! 】
[Speak!] What is going on? ! 】
…
[The system is idle, the host is exploring on his own.] 】
…
After asking in his heart for a long time, he only got an irrelevant answer. Gu Jinli's face turned bad at that time.
She suddenly had a very bad premonition. Could it be that the heroine... was also penetrated?
No, looking at the way she uses ghost energy, it should be called rebirth, right?
Oh my god~
Gu Jinli wanted to cry but had no tears.
A nine-year-old heroine is already difficult to deal with, but now she is told that this is a large size inside a small size.
There is really no way out.
"Let's go, sister."
After dealing with the troublemakers, Chen Chigui subconsciously glanced at Gu Jinli, but was frightened by her ugly expression.
"What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."
After a little thought, he knew what was going on, and Shen Chigui suddenly found it funny.
Wasn’t this guy very tough just now? Seeing his unyielding attitude even to death, her heart softened.
What is this now?
Deathbed regrets?
"Don't worry, sister."
Blinking, Shen Chigui smiled with good temper: "I won't let you die easily."
"After all, if you die, there will be no one to play with me~"
Of course she wants to play more with such an interesting strategy player.
Gu Jinli: “…”
Then thank you!
-

Kill one person and the number of people will naturally be just right.
When she was taken out of the yard, Gu Jinli felt like she was floating. He allowed the servant sent by the housekeeper to take him to the room in the City Lord's Mansion to wash.
The five winners needed to meet the city lord, so they separated temporarily.
The heroine Chen Chigui was naturally taken away as well, and it was a rare opportunity for Gu Jinli to be alone for a while.
"You all go down! I will wash myself."
After sending away the maid who served him, Gu Jinli took a deep breath and sat on the chair in the room for a long time.
She thought about a lot, and the ending of each one was not good.
But if the enemy comes, we will stop him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth; life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are in the hands of God.
Now that things have come to this, she can only take things one step at a time.
If she remembered correctly, the next plot point should be when the heroine Shen Chigui met the city lord. Because of her good looks and the fact that she was a woman, the city lord assigned her to his daughter as a personal maid and bodyguard.
However, this action just laid the groundwork for the subsequent overthrow of the City Lord's Mansion.
So now…
Standing in front of the brass mirror in the room, Gu Jinli stared at herself in the mirror, thinking secretly.
Although my face is not as delicate and eye-catching as the heroine's, it is soft and beautiful when you look closely, and it is not embarrassing.
If she were a maid, I think she wouldn't care too much.
After all, she came from the 'hunting competition', and even if she dresses up carefully, you won't be able to tell her true identity.
As the author of this book, Gu Jinli naturally knew why the city lord arranged the heroine to be with his daughter.
It's simply because the heroine is a rare and capable girl, making it convenient for her to take care of the young lady.
Then she can totally do it!
One maid is a gift, two maids are also a gift!
I should be sent there just like the heroine!
Although the eldest daughter is picky, eccentric, and has a bad temper, she always finds ways to torture and beat the heroine.
But at this level, it is much safer than being sent out by the city lord to fight with others.
Gu Jinli felt that her life was more important.
…
…
An hour later, several people, led by servants, gathered in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
When they arrived, the people in the main hall were leaving.
Looking at those passers-by who were "some happy and some sad", Gu Jinli quickly recalled this plot from her mind.
Oh, she remembered that this 'hunting competition' made the city lord a lot of money from the bets.
This is also thanks to the heroine's final intervention, otherwise it wouldn't be so lively.
This is also one of the reasons why the city lord is willing to let the heroine go, although her victory was indeed not very glorious.
“You’re here.”
Sitting in the main seat and drinking a sip of tea, the Lord of Gu City was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He had been in Gu City for nearly ten years, and only took the position of Lord of the City in the last five years.
But even if it was only five years, he could be considered one of the most resourceful city lords in Gu City.
"City Lord."
After paying respect to the man, the butler walked forward, bent down and whispered in the city lord's ear, reporting the results of the hunt and the identities of these people.
If you want to recruit this group of people as your subordinates, it is impossible for you to know nothing about it.
While they were washing and eating, the housekeeper had already sent people to investigate these five people thoroughly.
"I see."
The city lord nodded in understanding, stroked his beard, and said cheerfully: "Since there is no problem, let's get started!"
As he finished speaking, the butler raised his hand and a string of files shining with golden light floated out from his sleeves.
Then they floated in front of the five people one by one.
Staring at the contract glowing with golden light in front of him, Gu Jinli felt very complicated.
It turns out that this is the legendary soul contract, and it is an extremely unfair master-servant contract.
As long as they sign this contract, their lives will no longer be their own.
This is also an important means for the city lord to ensure the loyalty of his subordinates. In the master-servant contract, he is the only master.
I really can't accept this.
This way you sell yourself.
Unfortunately, she knew the whole story, but was powerless to change it.
Just as Gu Jinli was persuading herself to bite her finger and sign the contract, the heroine next to her suddenly stood up.
"etc."
